TOGAF, an Open Group

Standard, is a proven Enter-

prise Architecture methodology

and framework used by the world’s

leading organisations to improve

business efficiency. It is the most

prominent and reliable Enterprise

Architecture standard, ensuring

consistent standards, methods, and

communication among Enterprise

Architecture professionals. Enterprise

Architecture professionals fluent in

the TOGAF standard enjoy greater

industry credibility, job effectiveness,

and career opportunities. TOGAF

helps practitioners avoid being

locked into proprietary methods,

utilise resources more efficiently

and effectively, and realise a greater

return on investment.

First published in 1995, TOGAF was

based on the US Department of De-

fence Technical Architecture Frame-

work for Information Management

(TAFIM). From this sound foundation,

The Open Group Architecture Forum

has developed successive versions

of TOGAF at regular intervals and

published them on The Open Group

public web site.

TOGAF Version 9.1 is a maintenance

update to TOGAF 9, addressing

comments raised since the introduc-

tion of TOGAF 9 in 2009. It retains

the major features and structure of

TOGAF 9, thereby preserving existing

investment in TOGAF, and adds fur-

ther detail and clarification to what is

already proven.

Who should attend TOGAF® 9 training?

Making enterprise architecture work

TOGAF FOUNDATION TRAINING:

• Those requiring a basic under-

standing of TOGAF 9

• Professionals working in roles

associated with an architecture

project such as those respon-

sible for planning, execution,

development, delivery, and

operation

• Architects who are looking

for a first introduction to the

TOGAF 9 standard

• Architects who want to achieve

Level 2 certification

TOGAF CERTIFIED TRAINING:

• Those requiring a deeper un-

derstanding of the TOGAF 9

• Professionals working in an

organisation where the TOGAF

9 standard has been adopted

and who need to participate

in architecture projects and

initiatives

• Architects responsible for de-

veloping architecture artifacts

• Architects who wish to intro-

duce the TOGAF 9 standard

into an architecture practice.

TOGAF 9 qualification provides a

trusted, vendor-neutral, globally

recognised and portable credential.

TOGAF is the open enterprise archi-

tecture standard used by the world’s

leading organisations to improve

business efficiency. The TOGAF

Certification Program has ena-

bled more than 20,000 enterprise

architects and trainers around the

globe to demonstrate their proven

knowledge of the framework. Certi-

fication is achieved through a two-

part exam, following a course of

self-study or an Accredited TOGAF 9

Training Course.

The Architecture Development Method (ADM) forms the core of TOGAF and

is a method for deriving organisation-specific enterprise architecture. The

ADM provides a tested and repeatable process for developing architectures.

The ADM includes establishing an architecture framework, developing archi-

tecture content, transitioning, and governing the realisation of architectures.

All of these activities are carried out within an iterative cycle of continuous

architecture definition and realisation that allows organisations to transform

their enterprises in a controlled manner in response to business goals and

opportunities.

Throughout the ADM cycle, there should be frequent validation of results

against the original requirements, both those for the whole ADM cycle, and

those for the particular phase of the process. Such validation should recon-

sider scope, detail, schedules, and milestones. Each phase should consider

assets produced from previous iterations of the process and external assets

from the marketplace, such as other frameworks or models.

particular the TOGAF approach. It contains the definitions of terms used throughout TOGAF and release notes detailing

the changes between this version and the previous version of TOGAF.

Method (ADM) – a step-by-step approach to developing an Enterprise Architecture.

• PART III (ADM Guidelines & Techniques): This part contains a collection of guidelines and techniques available for use in

applying TOGAF and the TOGAF ADM.

• PART IV (Architecture Content Framework): This part describes the TOGAF content framework, including a structured

metamodel for architectural artifacts, the use of re-usable architecture building blocks, and an overview of typical archi-

tecture deliverables.

• PART V (Enterprise Continuum & Tools): This part discusses appropriate taxonomies and tools to categorise and store the

outputs of architecture activity within an enterprise.

• PART VI (TOGAF Reference Models): This part provides a selection of architectural reference models, which includes the

TOGAF Foundation Architecture, and the Integrated Information Infrastructure Reference Model (III-RM).

• PART VII (Architecture Capability Framework): This part discusses the organisation, processes, skills, roles, and responsi-

bilities required to establish and operate an architecture function within an enterprise.

TACT is Syzygal’s pro-prietary methodology for developing courses and courseware

As part of doctoral research,

Syzygal have developed a unique

approach to developing and

designing professional education

courses and courseware. Rather

than utilising tired and over-used

methods such as working straight

from a syllabus, Syzygal decided to

research the key elements of effec-

tive learning. What we found was

that although dynamic and flexible

delivery methods were essential to

the overall experience for students,

it was the approach to content

formulation and positioning that

was critical to maximising learning

up-take and knowledge retention.

The THEORY of a subject is obvi-

ously critical to success, but ensur-

ing it is positioned in contextual

alignment is the pay-off. We then

ensure students ABSORB the the-

ory by placing them in real-world

scenarios and role-plays, ensuring

the theory connects to practical

application. To support this we

CONSOLIDATE the learning by us-

ing innovative games and exercises

to further develop understanding

and retention. Finally we ensure

TESTING takes place throughout

training events which prepares

the student to take their formal

certification.

cialisation in the areas of IT Service

ment, Project Management and

novative solutions helping your busi-

ness deliver tangible and measurable

improvements through direct con-

sultancy or training and education

prove their business practices

Our approach is to accept and deliver

only the highest quality in informa-

of our courses. We believe that learn-

ing is better achieved by participa-

tion from the student rather than

instruction by the lecturer. Taking

this approach leads to a better overall

experience for the training candi-

dates and achieves a longer lasting

knowledge transfer from the course.

We employ only the best training

resources and ensure they have ap-

plicable, real life experience in their

specialist areas and industry standard

frameworks and methodologies.
